NAWE is the one organization supporting the development of creative writing of all genres and in all educational and community settings throughout the UK

Writers’ HQ one-day writing retreats can now be found at six locations across the country, and if there’s not one near you now there will be soon. Join us in May in Worthing (5th), Birmingham (13th), Cambridge (19th), Cheltenham (20th), Brighton (26th) and Portsmouth (27th).

Through our micro-commissions, we want to fund projects that explore new ways of creating or promoting poetry, fiction, non-fiction or spoken word in the Northern region. Your idea can be all about the word or you can combine it with another art form/discipline.
